The AIA has selected Hanley Wood to take over the decennial "journal contract." This means by this time next year, it won't be McGraw-Hill's Architectural Record in you mail box—assuming you're a registered architect, of course—but perhaps Architect instead. The Architect's Newspaper

does that mean that AR will now be reduced to the limbo-land that Architect has occupied for the last several years, as the article suggests? i hope not.
bob ivy and his crew have done a pretty good job of straddling the several roles of promoting, educating, and otherwise serving the profession in AR's pages over the past decade.
architect hasn't been bad - in fact i've come to like it because of its at-the-margins position and its cheeky response to that - but it's certainly been significantly reduced as a resource. hope hanley-wood can step up.
i guess i expect AR to become more like the other mcgraw-hill publications after this shift: more dry, more construction-industry oriented, more advertising. too bad.
After 4 or 5 years of AR's diminished relevance to professional practice I just stopped subscribing to it. Its impossible to relate any of the feature projects to anything most architects do. I do miss the internal continuing education series, however it's no information I cant find somewhere else. These period shifts happen every 10-15 years. Remeber Inland Architect?
honestly, there are better magazines out there, Make and Frame are two of the best, i think. the only thing with this magazine is it's potential to talk about tertiary issues and possibly making inroads into the schools, the high schools. that's where i really hoped that record or the aia would have allowed me to donate my subscription to my high school in jersey, but alas that does not appear on the radar.
